(02:35):

Rentalds are an amazing football player, played linebacker when the
u v A. Uh played in the National Football League
for the Bills. Uh. But also it's just an extraordinary man.
So you'll get an opportunity to hear from him in moments. Uh.
Right now, I want I want to touch on a
(02:56):
story about Pittsburgh in this game him and it involves Claypool.
But before we get to that, uh t j Uh,
you've been real frisky, and I mean super frisky, and
I know why. So let us know. You gotta perform
at your best with him. Drive like yours truly the

m drive because it's just a number. Hey, Ryan, can
you set us up for the Claypool situation with the Steelers,
they had an opportunity to win the game. Talk to
me about the details. Yeah. So it's the fourth quarter,
(03:38):
about forty two seconds left to go in the game.
These Steelers are down by eight around the forty yard line.
It's a fourth and one play. They throw a quick
pass to Chase Claypool. He goes down, his knee hits
the ground at about thirty eight seconds and uh, he
does his standard celebration where he points towards the end zone.
He still got the ball in his hands. There's a
bit of a tussle trying to get the ball out,
(04:00):
and then eventually the Steelers are able to spike the
ball and clock it at twenty four seconds. So there's
fourteen seconds between the end of the play and the spike.
All right. Now, this is interesting because many people came
out and criticized Claypool. One of which was was our guy,
Ryan Clark. He came out and basically said it was
(04:21):
me ball. Uh, he shouldn't have been that type of
guy in that situation and in that moment. Uh. I
want to start with you, Plex, what what was your takeaway?
From this, um saying as though you were a young
receiver at one point in time, in the same uniform,
in the same city, at the same place. Is this
is this being overblown? Was this was this? Uh? Uh? Uh?
(04:44):
You know, was this a learning experience? In fact? In fact?
Before you go, I know we have we have sound
of Claypool addressing it. Let's listen to the sound of it,
and then I want to hear what you and t
J have to say. Here's Claypool on on what happened.
Definitely I'll be better. I got tackled near the hash,
did my little first round point, and uh, I went
(05:05):
to hand the ball to the ref. He had just
got there. So even if I got right up and
look for him, he just wasn't there. He ran down
the field and come get the ball, and the ball
got knocked out of my hands. That's what costed this time. Um.
But I definitely do have to be better. I knew
the situation, I knew you know. I know I'm near
the hash, I know the balls placed on the hash.
But I gotta be better and the ball shouldn't get
knocked on my hands, should be redently. That sounds like
(05:28):
one of those deals you got in trouble with your
parents is like, yeah, I did it, but I didn't
do it. I did, I didn't do it, but I
did do it. Well, I need to not do it
even though I did do it and it wasn't really
my fault that I did it, but I didn't do
it in terms of getting in trouble. I didn't want
to get in trouble. But I'll be better not to
do it if it is indeed what it is that
I think I did or didn't do. All that, All
(05:51):
that right, all that what he gave us in that interview,
but go ahead what you got. There's one thing I
will say after listening to the interview. He didn't understand
the situation. There's no way that he understands the situation.
If he catches the football, his knees, his knees goes down,
and he's pointing for a first down to the ball
(06:12):
needs to get back to the referee as soon as
possible so they can either spike the ball I mean
clock the ball, or or go for another play. One
of these situations happened to me my rookie year playing
down in Jacksonville. I'm a rookie and not understanding. You know,
after you catch the ball and you fall down and
(06:32):
college you're you're down. So this was like my second
game playing. I jump up and I spiked the ball
to black. Remember that, I remember in the air, and
I'm like, why the hell is everybody? Remember I didn't
want to bring that up? So so I'm like, why
the hell is everybody running? I'm like, oh man, nobody
touched me. So they picked the ball up Jacksonville. They
(06:54):
ran it like for the yard and the defense got
a goal line. I stopped and we win the game
by two points. And coach Kylin looks at me. He
brings me over to him. He said, kid, he said,
we learned something new every day, don't we. I said yeah,
And coach Coach Kyl said, uh, just be glad it
didn't cost me a ball game. But yeah, man, it's
(07:18):
just just an understanding the situation. He's young, he's he's
a very talented player. But you know a guy like
Mike Tomlin, you know, he's such a detailed coach and
and and having his players are aware of every situation,
and right there, you know, it cost him the game
playpool is irritating Mike Mike Tomlin, like I think he
(07:40):
benched him earlier on for like the entire quarter because
he getting that unsportsmanlike conduct foul before he's getting on
his nerves, I mean not so his actor has to
be running thin. He showed accountability, yet showed no accountability
all at one point in time, and and his and
(08:01):
his response to what took place. Go ahead, teacher, it's
for me and I know Chase personally training for the combine,
and it was during COVID, so we were together a
ton and heading into this drive number one. For people
that don't know, we will. You practice two minutes all
(08:22):
the time and you're told get the ball to the
ref all the time. So when you when that drive starts,
Ben Roethlisberger should reiterate, listen, when a two minute drill lests,
make sure we're getting the ball to the ref. You
gotta you gotta remind them every time, because you know
the guys in that hell, do you know who you're
dealing with. Some guys are just professionals and they just
(08:45):
get it. They they're gonna do that. The guys that aren't,
you gotta remind them, and it cost him. I'm gonna
say five to six seconds probably would have been another play.
He wasn't. He didn't take account of ac on ability
for it. But this is gonna happen when you're a
young player. It's not like they win this game, Oh,
(09:06):
their season is changed, They're going to the playoffs. The
Steelers aren't a good football team, and and so if
you're gonna blame it on that, there's a lot of
things to blame. But what's telling to me is when
they asked Ben Roethlisberger and he says, Oh, that's not
my job. That's Mike Tomlin's job. Being is checked out.
Being is checked out. Ben is checked out. Does Chase
(09:29):
need to be better? Absolutely, But this is where we
are in football. Like you make a catch, you you're
gonna celebrate, Like we gotta know, Bro, I gotta get
up and get this ball to the ref Like immediately,
I'm not doing no celebration. I'm not pointing. I'm getting
the ball to the ref because I know time is
of the essence. He didn't do it. It's a mistake
that he made. He will learn from this. But what
(09:51):
was telling to me was Ben Roethlisberger's response. Man, Ben
act like he could care less man talk to Mike Tomlin.
This ain't got nothing to do with me. I play football.
I don't do none of that other stuff. Leaders lead,
and if you're a quarterback, lead Ben. Let's take a
look at that. And that's that's your uh, that's your
best friend, uh and the godfather of all your your children.
(10:13):
UM Plexico. Let's let's delve into um, Big Ben and
the Steelers team. They are looking like they may be
heading for their first losing season under Mike Tomlin. I
think a large part of this is because of your
your god daddy. UM. I just don't think that he's
(10:33):
He's I just don't think that. I really don't and
and and I just you know what, what's your take
on it? Um? And I don't I don't think that
this is something that they can overcome at this point
and in the year, Um, they don't have a replacement.
If it was Haskins, if it was Rudolph, they would
have made that switch. I truly believe that. I know
(10:55):
you said it earlier in the year. There's no way
that they're going to go away from Big Ben with
him being a starter UM this season. And and honestly,
I don't think they would have if they had a
legitimate backup. I don't. I don't think that, you know,
I just I don't. All I know is I don't
think that Ben gives them a real opportunity to win.
(11:16):
And that's I guess what I'm trying to get out.
What what's your take on it? I mean, it's time.
It's ran his course. You know, you can see father
time has crept up on my guy, my my brother
seven and um. Listen, it's been a great ride to
super Bowl championships, but right now he's he is not
(11:37):
the answer for this organization if they want to compete
to win championships and win that division alone and with
Baltimore and Cleveland and um. You can always say that maybe,
you know, maybe he stayed one year too long. And
I was telling y'all earlier in the year that listen,
that they're gonna let him go out on his own
(11:59):
right because he's deserving of that. And Mike Thomas is
going to stick with that, even if they don't have
a winning season, which I didn't foresee that happening. Them
not happening to winning season, but it's just time for
for seven to you know, go back down to Albany
Bahamas play some golf uh in the off season, and
(12:21):
it's just time to hang it up. Man. It's painful
to watch because you know, I love my brother, but
he's just not performing with the way that we all
used for for Big Ben to go out and play.
What is this man? What is this man for? This?
For Mike Tomlin and the Steelers moving forward? Everybody on
(12:42):
the hot seat? How is he on the This is talking?
This is where the Steelers went wrong at like you all? Ben?
Is it so? Ben is that quarterbacks can play forever
if everybody around him are playing well. That offensive line
cannot open up. Whole was in a run game. So
when they can't run the ball effectively, the game is
(13:04):
in Ben's hands and he has to do everything. He
can't do that at this point in his career. If
they could run the ball effectively, had they drafted offensive
lineman the right ones or signed them in free agency,
they wouldn't be in this situation. Defensively, they're up and down,
but the defense is done decent. They cannot run the
ball and they haven't been able to run the ball
(13:26):
for now three years. In the office, line tea no
remote Foster, no de Cash, Tho, no penalty, no Villeuava
and the whole new officers line. And so the that
offensive line the new one. You need a new one
again be they're not able to run the ball effective
like Ben. Like when you watch Ben. Ben has always
been a guy that he's gonna Ben is willing to
(13:49):
take a hit to give his receivers extra time. I
always felt like men got his receivers three or four
hundred yards extra every year because he would hold the
ball and get you yards that other quarterbacks would not
get you. But the offensive line can't protect like that anymore.
So he's doing it and its sack and so they
have to figure out that offensive line because they're just
(14:10):
not playing this is what you said. They don't have
those guys up front anymore. They don't have Alan Fan
because the pounces that the cash. They don't have those dudes,
and that to me is the biggest problem. Well, we're
moments away from conversations with a legend, uh and that's
gonna be interesting to hear that. Uh. We're also going
(14:33):
to touch in on uh, well one one or two
more topics before we get up out of here. But
I'm not going to tell you what they are. You're
just gonna have to stay locked in and see. And
that is one of the most empty teasers that has
ever been done in the history of radio. But I
appreciated it, h okay. And and speaking of empty teases,
you don't want to be empty when you jump into
(14:54):
your DoD Dram. You know why? Because yeah, because we're
gonna we're gonna take off and we're gonna go do something.
And you're gonna, in fact, we're gonna go watch some
football or you know, any type of sport at that.
To be honest with you, I mean, we love football,
We love talking about football. Is a football show. So
why not jump in your RAM and go watch football

that high. So RAM trucks they have rugged durability, to
haul what you need. Heavy stuff, you know, rocks, boulders,
you know those those you know, I could like to
chop down tree, so you know you put that chain
around the bottom of that tree. You're gonna want to
pull that tree right on now. That RAM truck can
do it. But you know what, at the same time,
I could clean up that Ram and I could put

I precy she ate that. Speaking of mental strength, let's
(21:01):
go here legendary moments. That's that's presents conversations with a
legend and now this is your legendary moment. I was
an execure recruit to a point because I never thought
about going off to school to play football. I wanted
(21:24):
to go to even one of the military capemis. So
when I was in the teenth grade, my focus was, Okay,
I want to go to the military academy. So you
started getting your stuff in order with your congressman and
the senators or whatever, and through that process you just
blossomed and you got to be seen and started getting recruited.
(21:45):
And after going to the West Point and Navy and
d M I Vagenia Tech, I went to u A.
They had a better look at women. Right, So that
kind of ended that old conversation of going into the
military academy. I mean, there's no reason for you to
(22:08):
waste your good looks, right, I mean you add on
your mouth as well, used to your advantage. Hey man,
I thought I died and went to heaven, right right, right.
But but when I got to college and I went
on the joint on TC, just got the heck of.
And then you later ended up feeling uh, you know,
going into the reserves. Yeah, I say, I served my
(22:31):
time in the off season of the NFL. Talk to
me about that. What made you? What went to that? Well,
that's something I always wanted to be a soldier first anyway,
And I thought as each year got by, your career
went longer than anticipated and NFL. But I always thinking
about my career was short. I had something to fall back.
(22:53):
I always wanted to be a soldier, and then the
stuff that I had to do militarily kept me in
such good shape for the aren't for the football. They
kind of work hand in hand, you know, the similar
There's there's so much similarities between the two. Especially I
was an infantry officer, weapons act vers so it's always
everything I did was physical, competitive, and you know, only
(23:17):
differences life and death on this side. I gotta say
I love that man, Ed Reynolds and was cool. Bro man,
there's one one of my guys, just one of the
assaults of the earth. Just just an amazing human being,
great family man, did it the right way, raised his
kids up son, even played in the National Football League,
(23:39):
attended Stanford. I mean, Ed has always done things the
right way. And the one thing that I I'll put
post to you guys, um just listening to to the
idea of being a man of service while playing the game.
He's always been that that type of guy where he
services us. He's always been there for us to support
us and be there for us. Uh. But here's a
(24:02):
funny thing, right, everybody likes to be so particular on
being real about things. Sometimes. I appreciated his candidness and
his honesty every once in a while. And listen, if
you've ever hung out in Virginia, UM, and I say
this with very much respect, Uh, there are some of
(24:23):
the most beautiful people I'll say, um that live and
reside in in in that that area of the world.
And in fact, a lot of what what they call
him wah wah who's uh well, Um, I was. I was.
I was shocked that he came out and said it.
(24:45):
But let's touch on that. I mean, how much how
much did you choose in the school that you went to? Um,
the population of women playing to your decision. Man, Listen,
I'm from Virginia. I was born enough with Jine Man
raised in Virginia Beatson when I was in high school
(25:08):
that there was nothing like going to uh you know, um,
Virginia State versus Norfolk State, or going to Virginia Union. Uh,
you know, going to do going to Hampton University and
just being on that campus and you just you know
you I'm gonna kill you, like sixteen seventeen, eighteen years
ago years old and you're seeing these women walk by
(25:31):
you like, man, this is incredible, unbelievable. Listen, going to
a college campus, going to black college football games. When
I was growing up, that was a thing, going down
to Virginia Union, Virginia State and watching these football games.
But we didn't really we weren't really going for the
football games. We were just going to this is the movie, right, Hey, Listen,
(25:52):
our head was on the Swilvili it was on the
punk team to matriculate mercy. I'm not I'm not going
to uh no school for the women. But when I
when I came out, I went, you know, out of
junior college. I was already twenty years old, and so
your perspective is a little different twenty than when you're
(26:13):
seventeen eighteen and so, but I can I can see
why some would do that. And that's when we were
coming out. That's why the recruiting trips. Uh, That's what
I'm gonna tell you. My recruiting recruiting trips was like that.
That's why they were the way they were. It's because
(26:35):
they hope you would come to school for the women. Well,
I'll say this, I didn't go to school. I didn't
go to Penn State for the women. But I will
say that my recruiting it doesn't hurt. Now now I'm
gonna say this right. So I'm a loyal dude. If
you know me, you know, like I am fiercely loyal.
(26:57):
So it's it's the weird thing that happened was I
was starting to go on visits, but they were unofficial visits,
and I had only went to a visit to pitt
in a visit to to Penn State. And when I
took my visit to Penn State, I went and stayed
with Shoffy Fields. Now, if you know who shoff he
Feels is, which nobody out there listening probably at this
(27:18):
point remembers who shoff He is. But he was a
receiver for US um when when you know, back in
the late nineties, and I mean he was one of
the best in the country, um when when he was
doing it. And but if you went to Penn State
during that time, you know exactly who schoff he Feels
is because he was the one that all the girls like,
everybody like Shoffie, and I happened to be his recruit.
(27:43):
So I'm on campus and it's almost like some Joe Kine,
you know, Darnielle Jefferson, the program type stuff like you
got all this stuff going on, all this excitement going on,
and it's just all these people around. And when I
say people, it was some good looking in that world around.
Shouts out to all the good looking women. Y'all know
(28:03):
who y'all are. And I hung out with a few
of young we went to the big on college that
and we've got some chicken McNuggets and we was dipping
them in barbecue sauce and we was having a good
time eating chicken McNuggets on on On College IB. And
then we was hanging out some more, and and you know,
then my visit was over, and then I committed and
(28:23):
I never went back. Once I made the commitment, I
was committed. I was done. I didn't take any official
visits to any other schools. I didn't so I don't
even know the point of my story is is I
had such a good time and Shaffie and and and
the homies made it such a great time and a
fun time when I was there, that I made the
commitment and never took any other official visits. But you
(28:46):
know that's what happens man on them visits. Man it's
so fun and it's like, man, like, man, is it
so you want to go to another school? Like, man,
is it gonna be? This? Is it gonna be? This fun?
Like to see, I feel like I cheated myself. I
feel like I should have took them official visits. That's
what it's. Nothing like them recruiting trips, nothing like it.
(29:11):
Nothing like it. It's almost unbelievable. I almost feel like
I should have did it. So you make sure man,
man takes his certain and with him, making sure that
he's safe and in pocket so that he don't U
find out himself turned out talking about daddy. I ain't
(29:32):
coming back home ever again. I want to go. But
I did appreciate at being honest about him sitting there,
said like, look, I wanted to be a military dude.
I went to the academies. I'll tell you what. We talked.
Both of your sons gonna be making this decision at
the same time. Yeah, yeah, the same time. I want
(29:56):
to go here because it is she'd be like, nah, boy,
we ain't going here, and wow wow, I'll say this.
If me and Plex were rolling, Plex was a pretty boy.
I was a sucking bug, so we would have been
approached differently. My baby is just as pretty as plex's baby,
like prep pretty baby, but my baby is pretty too.
(30:17):
So now there's gonna be there's gonna be a meeting
of the minds. Even though he's a pretty boy that's
gonna be running routes and my baby is going to
be a thumper, they still nonetheless will be on the
same pretty range. Scalper and well, yeah, yeah, he's a thumper. Now,
yeah he ain't. He's a chip tooper tooth chipper. And
you know who else is a tooth chipper And let's
(30:40):
go to literally him chipper Urban diction, Urban dictionary, dictionary.
Yeah yeah, well all right, I've seen multiple definitions, so
we'll have to explore that and the previous segment a
(31:01):
lot more on the uncensored up on Game podcast, So
listen listen for that for more on what you just
heard during the previous segment. Number one number one trending
topic in sports right now, Urban Meyer because Tom Pellisero
of NFL Media reported today that Jacksonville Jaguars head coach
has had multiple run ins with his players and assistant
(31:23):
coaches over the last two weeks. Pellisero reported that receiver
Marvin Jones had a heated argument with Meyer over meers
criticism of him, and also reported that several Jaguars players
vented to Rams players after last week's game that Meyer
does not treat them like adults. In addition, Pellisera reported
that quote, during a staff meeting, Meyer delivered abiding message
(31:48):
that he's a winner and his assistant coaches are losers. Unquote.
In fact, let's see, is it. Do we have some
audio audio of that particular meeting. Let's see we can
play this. Listen you see this once? Yeah, that watched
Courts more than your car. That's who I'm closing, and
(32:10):
you're nothing. That's right, Always be always, always be closing.
More bad news for the jaguarsy and Rappaport reporting that
the Tennessee Titans planned to activate star receiver Julio Jones
off of injured reserve today and he will play tomorrow
against the Jaguars. The Chiefs announced quarterback Lagarius Need questionable
(32:31):
for tomorrow's game against the Raids because of personal reasons.
In the NBA, Wizards, guard Kyle Kuzma has entered health
and safety protocols and will not play tonight against the
Utah jazz. Finally, this one's for you, LaVar. Penn State
officially hiring former Miami head coach Manny Diaz as its
new lines of coordinator. Ye, back to you for some kids.
(32:54):
Are you up on game? And let's break this up.
Let's back it up. Come on, ryme what we got?
All right? Uh, well, let's take a quick look and
how things are going for you guys overall? Yes, what's
the record here? Tell them about the king? Come on,
in terms of picks, LaVar, you are leading their thirty
(33:15):
and twenty three on the season. Ye, t J seven
and twenty six, and I got a nice healthy lea
Plex nine. Let's look at Plex got how many a gain?
How many was that nine? It's because you tried to
say that real quick, like like we went going like
(33:36):
we go over top of that one. You said, you
said I had we got thirty three and twenty seven
to Plex's nineteen. That's what you said exactly. All right,
Let's take a look at this week, and we're gonna
pepper in a little bit of a different look this week.
But first off, let's take a look at the forty
(33:57):
Niners at the Bengals. The forty Niners our favorite minus
one and a half over under a forty eight and
a half in this one, LaVar, let's start with you, okay,
over under a forty eight and a half. I am
going to take the over on that game. But I
am taking the Bengals to win the game straight up. Wow.
(34:20):
So me and LaVar on the same page. Uh, he's
looking at my notes. So I'm taking the Bengals in
over Wow, stealing off. So I'm taking up. I'm taking
the over on on the foty eight and a half,
and I'm also going with since in that. There you go.
Now you're gonna get some wins. Just follow your follow
(34:42):
your boy. Let's go alright, Bills at Buccaneers Bucks favorite
minus three and a half in this one over under
a fifty four. T J will start with you. T
J will take the over, and t J is going
with the role team the Buffalo Bills. They need this win.
I'm taking I'm taking the under of the fifty four
(35:04):
and I'm going with Tampa Bay. Mm hmmm, I'm taking Uh.
I am certainly going to take the I'm gonna take
the over because I just think that the Bill's defense
has been letting me down. Lately. I just I don't.
They don't have the number one defense in NFL. Though
it's high, it's high, but I just I just know
(35:27):
they're up there. I know that in their offense is
up there too. And you know what, and they took
an owl against the Patriots, and I just don't. I
don't trust it right this moment. So I'm gonna take
I'm gonna take the over on it. But I do
not think that the Bills will go in and Tampa.
So I'm gonna take the Buccaneers on this one, all right.
And as I said, we're mixing up a little bit
with this segment today. Let's focus on this game here.
(35:48):
Let's let's throw a player prop. We got stefan prop.
That's right, Stefon Diggs over under eighty point five receiving
yards and Tampa Bay. Now Diggs is averaging seventy four
point eight yards per game, and the Tampa Bay Bucks
the twenty three best past defense in the league. So plaques,
I'll start with you over under eighty and a half
(36:08):
for Stefon Dick. I'm going over eight and a half
of Stefon Dudes. One of the premial wide receiver was
in all of football over, I'm gonna double that. I'm
gonna double down on that. I'm gonna I'm going over.
And the reason I'm going over is the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers play a lot of man to man coverage. When
you're good in the they really don't want to do
(36:30):
ws man to man. Let's get it in. Stefon Diggs
will win more often than not. I'm taking over on
that as well. Perfect perfect, Alright, Monday night here Rams
at Cardinals Cardinals favorite minus two and a half over
under a fifty one. LaVar is starting with you tell me,
I guess said again? Rams of Cardinals Cardinals minus two
and a half at home over under fifty one? Who
(36:56):
over under fifty one? I am going to take they scored.
I want to say they scored a lot the first
time around, didn't they? Yeah, I'm I'm going because I
took the under the first time they play. I'm gonna
stay with the under because I just think that the
defenses have to show up for these this this game,
especially for the Rams. I'm gonna take the under on
(37:17):
the points and not two and a half. And it
makes sense, it makes sense. I think the Rams are
gonna pull this one out though I really do so.
I'm gonna take the Rams and the straight up win.
And this is the one that sets me apart right here.
I'm gonna take the under and the Rams winning straight up.
I'm gonna go over, and conventional wisdom says the Rams
(37:39):
should lose. The Cardinals are good offensively, they're really good defensively.
This is a big game. It's the divisional game. The
Cardinals have already beaten them. I'm gonna take the Rams,
even though I don't know why. I'm gonna take the
Rams because everything everything, take the Cardinals. But I'm going
with the Rams. And over see, that's playing defense. And
now you can come back to say something, but I'm
(38:00):
taking the over. I'm taking the Over in the points
Kylin Murray and and they will be throwing the ball
all across the yard. Good receivers on the e side,
O B J. Cooper, Cup, the Hopkins over the points
of what was what was Itty two? Yeah, I'm taking
(38:22):
over on the points and I'm going with the Rams.
They definitely need to win this game and last one,
last one here to uh as we mentioned, let's throwing
one more player prop here Flax. You mentioned Cooper Cup
over under ninety three and a half receiving yards. For
Cooper Cup, he's averaging a hundred and thirteen receiving yards
in the game. But Cardinals have the fourth best past defense.
(38:44):
T J. Let's start with you on this one. I
must say under on that, just because the Rams want
to go to Cooper early and often. Vans Joseph is
going to try to take that away and for Stafford
to go somewhere else. I'm gonna take the under on that.
I'm taking under new yards. Also, Cooper Cup will will
(39:06):
draw more attention this week. He will not go over
ninety three yards. I'm taking it over and this is
where I win. They will find ways to scheme it
up to getting him the ball and look for most
of his yards to really be in that that those
windows of opportunity in the center of the defense, whereas
the no man's land of it is it is at
(39:27):
the safeties, is at the linebacker's ball, and look for
yards after the catch. I think he'll get enough yardage
after the catches where he breaks the century mark. Give
him the over on that nineties something nine plus and
that is up on game or down on game, Y'll
just make sure y'all see how much my uh my, my,
(39:47):
my lead increases after after this weekend. You know what,
Once you like there's no play props speaking offensively, that's
where you're gonna lose. Okay, Well, you know you're at
nineteen wins two days seven and I'm my thirty three?
So what was it? Ryan? What was Okay? So what thirties?
(40:14):
Still three more better than your twenty seven? And I'll
tell you whatever better them Ram trucks. You know what,
when we do our prop bet prop betting, I have
my RAM in mind. You know why, because I want
to I want to service my RAM. I want to
take my ram in and get it washed up and
cleaned up. Make sure my rims is clean, make sure
my interior is clean. Because when I roll up to
(40:36):
the game, everybody knows I've won the bets. I got
the wide screen TV, I got the coolers, the grills
and all of that in my Ram truck. As I
go to these games and win my bets, it's the
truck brand that's winning, just like I'm winning, and we're
both redefining what trucks and betting is. Right. Yeah, I
(40:57):
know that's funny, right. Ram leads the pack an interior design,
technology and overall quality. That's why it's the best. In fact,
JD Power just ranked the Ram as the number one
rated brand in new vehicle quality in the entire automotive industry,
first time a truck brand has ever scored that high.

(45:11):
what's going on? What? What do you guys coming up
on the show today? You've been killing it. Keep doing
what you're doing? What what you got going on? I
think I gotta talk a little bit about our our hometown. Yeah,
I love I would love to know what t J
thought about that um that Chase Claypool. I thought it
was just not aware. He's not aware of what's going on.
(45:37):
It should he have done it? No, but it's it's
not like they win that game or he doesn't. They
save six seconds, Joy, one play, They're still they're still
not going to the playoffs. I don't agree with it, now, don't.
I don't agree with it, and I'm not saying he's right,
but what I'm they're does the Steelers, they're just it
(46:00):
is not a good football team. So anything they can
grab onto. Oh, this is the reason why we lost.
Y'all lost because you're not good. Your offensive line isn't good,
your defense shows up sometimes and they want to blame Chase.
He has to be better. But it's not that big
a joy. T J has got a personal relationship with Chase.
Just so you're clear on Oh yeah, no, listen, I don't.
(46:21):
I don't dislike Chase personally. None of this is personal.
It wasn't a smart play, but it was beyond not
a smart play, Like you made that moment about you
and you didn't even do anything. It's not like you
won the game, like you got a first down and
then wasted five seconds which was essentially a play and
you lost the game. Is it Chase his fault and
lost the game? No, they were down twenty nine nothing
(46:43):
obviously wasn't Chase's fault. But it's more of a reflection
of how and where the organism. Isn't it always about you? Though?
Isn't it always about you? Like if if it's not
about me, how can I concern myself with others if
I don't put myself first and care about me? See,
that's that's that's a that's a that's a Seaver talking.
That's the truth. But I do think the most surprising
(47:04):
thing about the whole Claypool situation is that it's a
Mike Tomlin coach football team, where where they don't, you know,
make those mistakes in those situations. That's that's what's surprising
to me. So you got you got the Pittsburgh even
been in the game anyway, Alright, alright, so you got yeah, yeah,
you got the Pittsburgh Topics. Any guess what else you
(47:26):

(02:35):
you'll get in here the opportunity to hear from Ed
Rentalds are an amazing football player, played linebacker when the
u v A. Uh played in the National Football League
for the Bills. Uh. But also it's just an extraordinary man.
So you'll get an opportunity to hear from him in moments. Uh.
Right now, I want I want to touch on a
(02:56):
story about Pittsburgh in this game him and it involves Claypool.
But before we get to that, uh t j Uh,
you've been real frisky, and I mean super frisky, and
I know why. So let us know. You gotta perform
at your best with him. Drive like yours truly the

m drive because it's just a number. Hey, Ryan, can
you set us up for the Claypool situation with the Steelers,
they had an opportunity to win the game. Talk to
me about the details. Yeah. So it's the fourth quarter,
(03:38):
about forty two seconds left to go in the game.
These Steelers are down by eight around the forty yard line.
It's a fourth and one play. They throw a quick
pass to Chase Claypool. He goes down, his knee hits
the ground at about thirty eight seconds and uh, he
does his standard celebration where he points towards the end zone.
He still got the ball in his hands. There's a
bit of a tussle trying to get the ball out,
(04:00):
and then eventually the Steelers are able to spike the
ball and clock it at twenty four seconds. So there's
fourteen seconds between the end of the play and the spike.
All right. Now, this is interesting because many people came
out and criticized Claypool. One of which was was our guy,
Ryan Clark. He came out and basically said it was
(04:21):
me ball. Uh, he shouldn't have been that type of
guy in that situation and in that moment. Uh. I
want to start with you, Plex, what what was your takeaway?
From this, um saying as though you were a young
receiver at one point in time, in the same uniform,
in the same city, at the same place. Is this
is this being overblown? Was this was this? Uh? Uh? Uh?
(04:44):
You know, was this a learning experience? In fact? In fact?
Before you go, I know we have we have sound
of Claypool addressing it. Let's listen to the sound of it,
and then I want to hear what you and t
J have to say. Here's Claypool on on what happened.
Definitely I'll be better. I got tackled near the hash,
did my little first round point, and uh, I went
(05:05):
to hand the ball to the ref. He had just
got there. So even if I got right up and
look for him, he just wasn't there. He ran down
the field and come get the ball, and the ball
got knocked out of my hands. That's what costed this time. Um.
But I definitely do have to be better. I knew
the situation, I knew you know. I know I'm near
the hash, I know the balls placed on the hash.
But I gotta be better and the ball shouldn't get
knocked on my hands, should be redently. That sounds like
(05:28):
one of those deals you got in trouble with your
parents is like, yeah, I did it, but I didn't
do it. I did, I didn't do it, but I
did do it. Well, I need to not do it
even though I did do it and it wasn't really
my fault that I did it, but I didn't do
it in terms of getting in trouble. I didn't want
to get in trouble. But I'll be better not to
do it if it is indeed what it is that
I think I did or didn't do. All that, All
(05:51):
that right, all that what he gave us in that interview,
but go ahead what you got. There's one thing I
will say after listening to the interview. He didn't understand
the situation. There's no way that he understands the situation.
If he catches the football, his knees, his knees goes down,
and he's pointing for a first down to the ball
(06:12):
needs to get back to the referee as soon as
possible so they can either spike the ball I mean
clock the ball, or or go for another play. One
of these situations happened to me my rookie year playing
down in Jacksonville. I'm a rookie and not understanding. You know,
after you catch the ball and you fall down and
(06:32):
college you're you're down. So this was like my second
game playing. I jump up and I spiked the ball
to black. Remember that, I remember in the air, and
I'm like, why the hell is everybody? Remember I didn't
want to bring that up? So so I'm like, why
the hell is everybody running? I'm like, oh man, nobody
touched me. So they picked the ball up Jacksonville. They
(06:54):
ran it like for the yard and the defense got
a goal line. I stopped and we win the game
by two points. And coach Kylin looks at me. He
brings me over to him. He said, kid, he said,
we learned something new every day, don't we. I said yeah,
And coach Coach Kyl said, uh, just be glad it
didn't cost me a ball game. But yeah, man, it's
(07:18):
just just an understanding the situation. He's young, he's he's
a very talented player. But you know a guy like
Mike Tomlin, you know, he's such a detailed coach and
and and having his players are aware of every situation,
and right there, you know, it cost him the game
playpool is irritating Mike Mike Tomlin, like I think he
(07:40):
benched him earlier on for like the entire quarter because
he getting that unsportsmanlike conduct foul before he's getting on
his nerves, I mean not so his actor has to
be running thin. He showed accountability, yet showed no accountability
all at one point in time, and and his and
(08:01):
his response to what took place. Go ahead, teacher, it's
for me and I know Chase personally training for the combine,
and it was during COVID, so we were together a
ton and heading into this drive number one. For people
that don't know, we will. You practice two minutes all
(08:22):
the time and you're told get the ball to the
ref all the time. So when you when that drive starts,
Ben Roethlisberger should reiterate, listen, when a two minute drill lests,
make sure we're getting the ball to the ref. You
gotta you gotta remind them every time, because you know
the guys in that hell, do you know who you're
dealing with. Some guys are just professionals and they just
(08:45):
get it. They they're gonna do that. The guys that aren't,
you gotta remind them, and it cost him. I'm gonna
say five to six seconds probably would have been another play.
He wasn't. He didn't take account of ac on ability
for it. But this is gonna happen when you're a
young player. It's not like they win this game, Oh,
(09:06):
their season is changed, They're going to the playoffs. The
Steelers aren't a good football team, and and so if
you're gonna blame it on that, there's a lot of
things to blame. But what's telling to me is when
they asked Ben Roethlisberger and he says, Oh, that's not
my job. That's Mike Tomlin's job. Being is checked out.
Being is checked out. Ben is checked out. Does Chase
(09:29):
need to be better? Absolutely, But this is where we
are in football. Like you make a catch, you you're
gonna celebrate, Like we gotta know, Bro, I gotta get
up and get this ball to the ref Like immediately,
I'm not doing no celebration. I'm not pointing. I'm getting
the ball to the ref because I know time is
of the essence. He didn't do it. It's a mistake
that he made. He will learn from this. But what
(09:51):
was telling to me was Ben Roethlisberger's response. Man, Ben
act like he could care less man talk to Mike Tomlin.
This ain't got nothing to do with me. I play football.
I don't do none of that other stuff. Leaders lead,
and if you're a quarterback, lead Ben. Let's take a
look at that. And that's that's your uh, that's your
best friend, uh and the godfather of all your your children.
(10:13):
UM Plexico. Let's let's delve into um, Big Ben and
the Steelers team. They are looking like they may be
heading for their first losing season under Mike Tomlin. I
think a large part of this is because of your
your god daddy. UM. I just don't think that he's
(10:33):
He's I just don't think that. I really don't and
and and I just you know what, what's your take
on it? Um? And I don't I don't think that
this is something that they can overcome at this point
and in the year, Um, they don't have a replacement.
If it was Haskins, if it was Rudolph, they would
have made that switch. I truly believe that. I know
(10:55):
you said it earlier in the year. There's no way
that they're going to go away from Big Ben with
him being a starter UM this season. And and honestly,
I don't think they would have if they had a
legitimate backup. I don't. I don't think that, you know,
I just I don't. All I know is I don't
think that Ben gives them a real opportunity to win.
(11:16):
And that's I guess what I'm trying to get out.
What what's your take on it? I mean, it's time.
It's ran his course. You know, you can see father
time has crept up on my guy, my my brother
seven and um. Listen, it's been a great ride to
super Bowl championships, but right now he's he is not
(11:37):
the answer for this organization if they want to compete
to win championships and win that division alone and with
Baltimore and Cleveland and um. You can always say that maybe,
you know, maybe he stayed one year too long. And
I was telling y'all earlier in the year that listen,
that they're gonna let him go out on his own
(11:59):
right because he's deserving of that. And Mike Thomas is
going to stick with that, even if they don't have
a winning season, which I didn't foresee that happening. Them
not happening to winning season, but it's just time for
for seven to you know, go back down to Albany
Bahamas play some golf uh in the off season, and
(12:21):
it's just time to hang it up. Man. It's painful
to watch because you know, I love my brother, but
he's just not performing with the way that we all
used for for Big Ben to go out and play.
What is this man? What is this man for? This?
For Mike Tomlin and the Steelers moving forward? Everybody on
(12:42):
the hot seat? How is he on the This is talking?
This is where the Steelers went wrong at like you all? Ben?
Is it so? Ben is that quarterbacks can play forever
if everybody around him are playing well. That offensive line
cannot open up. Whole was in a run game. So
when they can't run the ball effectively, the game is
(13:04):
in Ben's hands and he has to do everything. He
can't do that at this point in his career. If
they could run the ball effectively, had they drafted offensive
lineman the right ones or signed them in free agency,
they wouldn't be in this situation. Defensively, they're up and down,
but the defense is done decent. They cannot run the
ball and they haven't been able to run the ball
(13:26):
for now three years. In the office, line tea no
remote Foster, no de Cash, Tho, no penalty, no Villeuava
and the whole new officers line. And so the that
offensive line the new one. You need a new one
again be they're not able to run the ball effective
like Ben. Like when you watch Ben. Ben has always
been a guy that he's gonna Ben is willing to
(13:49):
take a hit to give his receivers extra time. I
always felt like men got his receivers three or four
hundred yards extra every year because he would hold the
ball and get you yards that other quarterbacks would not
get you. But the offensive line can't protect like that anymore.
So he's doing it and its sack and so they
have to figure out that offensive line because they're just
(14:10):
not playing this is what you said. They don't have
those guys up front anymore. They don't have Alan Fan
because the pounces that the cash. They don't have those dudes,
and that to me is the biggest problem. Well, we're
moments away from conversations with a legend, uh and that's
gonna be interesting to hear that. Uh. We're also going
(14:33):
to touch in on uh, well one one or two
more topics before we get up out of here. But
I'm not going to tell you what they are. You're
just gonna have to stay locked in and see. And
that is one of the most empty teasers that has
ever been done in the history of radio. But I
appreciated it, h okay. And and speaking of empty teases,
you don't want to be empty when you jump into
(14:54):
your DoD Dram. You know why? Because yeah, because we're
gonna we're gonna take off and we're gonna go do something.
And you're gonna, in fact, we're gonna go watch some
football or you know, any type of sport at that.
To be honest with you, I mean, we love football,
We love talking about football. Is a football show. So
why not jump in your RAM and go watch football

that high. So RAM trucks they have rugged durability, to
haul what you need. Heavy stuff, you know, rocks, boulders,
you know those those you know, I could like to
chop down tree, so you know you put that chain
around the bottom of that tree. You're gonna want to
pull that tree right on now. That RAM truck can
do it. But you know what, at the same time,
I could clean up that Ram and I could put
(15:59):
on the night its a little suit and tie, and
I could go step out on town fellas. We're gonna
step out. You know why because it's got that luxurious
interior and makes driving to where you're going a pleasure.

(21:01):
go here legendary moments. That's that's presents conversations with a
legend and now this is your legendary moment. I was
an execure recruit to a point because I never thought
about going off to school to play football. I wanted
(21:24):
to go to even one of the military capemis. So
when I was in the teenth grade, my focus was, Okay,
I want to go to the military academy. So you
started getting your stuff in order with your congressman and
the senators or whatever, and through that process you just
blossomed and you got to be seen and started getting recruited.
(21:45):
And after going to the West Point and Navy and
d M I Vagenia Tech, I went to u A.
They had a better look at women. Right, So that
kind of ended that old conversation of going into the
military academy. I mean, there's no reason for you to
(22:08):
waste your good looks, right, I mean you add on
your mouth as well, used to your advantage. Hey man,
I thought I died and went to heaven, right right, right.
But but when I got to college and I went
on the joint on TC, just got the heck of.
And then you later ended up feeling uh, you know,
going into the reserves. Yeah, I say, I served my
(22:31):
time in the off season of the NFL. Talk to
me about that. What made you? What went to that? Well,
that's something I always wanted to be a soldier first anyway,
And I thought as each year got by, your career
went longer than anticipated and NFL. But I always thinking
about my career was short. I had something to fall back.
(22:53):
I always wanted to be a soldier, and then the
stuff that I had to do militarily kept me in
such good shape for the aren't for the football. They
kind of work hand in hand, you know, the similar
There's there's so much similarities between the two. Especially I
was an infantry officer, weapons act vers so it's always
everything I did was physical, competitive, and you know, only
(23:17):
differences life and death on this side. I gotta say
I love that man, Ed Reynolds and was cool. Bro man,
there's one one of my guys, just one of the
assaults of the earth. Just just an amazing human being,
great family man, did it the right way, raised his
kids up son, even played in the National Football League,
(23:39):
attended Stanford. I mean, Ed has always done things the
right way. And the one thing that I I'll put
post to you guys, um just listening to to the
idea of being a man of service while playing the game.
He's always been that that type of guy where he
services us. He's always been there for us to support
us and be there for us. Uh. But here's a
(24:02):
funny thing, right, everybody likes to be so particular on
being real about things. Sometimes. I appreciated his candidness and
his honesty every once in a while. And listen, if
you've ever hung out in Virginia, UM, and I say
this with very much respect, Uh, there are some of
(24:23):
the most beautiful people I'll say, um that live and
reside in in in that that area of the world.
And in fact, a lot of what what they call
him wah wah who's uh well, Um, I was. I was.
I was shocked that he came out and said it.
(24:45):
But let's touch on that. I mean, how much how
much did you choose in the school that you went to? Um,
the population of women playing to your decision. Man, Listen,
I'm from Virginia. I was born enough with Jine Man
raised in Virginia Beatson when I was in high school
(25:08):
that there was nothing like going to uh you know, um,
Virginia State versus Norfolk State, or going to Virginia Union. Uh,
you know, going to do going to Hampton University and
just being on that campus and you just you know
you I'm gonna kill you, like sixteen seventeen, eighteen years
ago years old and you're seeing these women walk by
(25:31):
you like, man, this is incredible, unbelievable. Listen, going to
a college campus, going to black college football games. When
I was growing up, that was a thing, going down
to Virginia Union, Virginia State and watching these football games.
But we didn't really we weren't really going for the
football games. We were just going to this is the movie, right, Hey, Listen,
(25:52):
our head was on the Swilvili it was on the
punk team to matriculate mercy. I'm not I'm not going
to uh no school for the women. But when I
when I came out, I went, you know, out of
junior college. I was already twenty years old, and so
your perspective is a little different twenty than when you're
(26:13):
seventeen eighteen and so, but I can I can see
why some would do that. And that's when we were
coming out. That's why the recruiting trips. Uh, That's what
I'm gonna tell you. My recruiting recruiting trips was like that.
That's why they were the way they were. It's because
(26:35):
they hope you would come to school for the women. Well,
I'll say this, I didn't go to school. I didn't
go to Penn State for the women. But I will
say that my recruiting it doesn't hurt. Now now I'm
gonna say this right. So I'm a loyal dude. If
you know me, you know, like I am fiercely loyal.
(26:57):
So it's it's the weird thing that happened was I
was starting to go on visits, but they were unofficial visits,
and I had only went to a visit to pitt
in a visit to to Penn State. And when I
took my visit to Penn State, I went and stayed
with Shoffy Fields. Now, if you know who shoff he
Feels is, which nobody out there listening probably at this
(27:18):
point remembers who shoff He is. But he was a
receiver for US um when when you know, back in
the late nineties, and I mean he was one of
the best in the country, um when when he was
doing it. And but if you went to Penn State
during that time, you know exactly who schoff he Feels
is because he was the one that all the girls like,
everybody like Shoffie, and I happened to be his recruit.
(27:43):
So I'm on campus and it's almost like some Joe Kine,
you know, Darnielle Jefferson, the program type stuff like you
got all this stuff going on, all this excitement going on,
and it's just all these people around. And when I
say people, it was some good looking in that world around.
Shouts out to all the good looking women. Y'all know
(28:03):
who y'all are. And I hung out with a few
of young we went to the big on college that
and we've got some chicken McNuggets and we was dipping
them in barbecue sauce and we was having a good
time eating chicken McNuggets on on On College IB. And
then we was hanging out some more, and and you know,
then my visit was over, and then I committed and
(28:23):
I never went back. Once I made the commitment, I
was committed. I was done. I didn't take any official
visits to any other schools. I didn't so I don't
even know the point of my story is is I
had such a good time and Shaffie and and and
the homies made it such a great time and a
fun time when I was there, that I made the
commitment and never took any other official visits. But you
(28:46):
know that's what happens man on them visits. Man it's
so fun and it's like, man, like, man, is it
so you want to go to another school? Like, man,
is it gonna be? This? Is it gonna be? This fun?
Like to see, I feel like I cheated myself. I
feel like I should have took them official visits. That's
what it's. Nothing like them recruiting trips, nothing like it.
(29:11):
Nothing like it. It's almost unbelievable. I almost feel like
I should have did it. So you make sure man,
man takes his certain and with him, making sure that
he's safe and in pocket so that he don't U
find out himself turned out talking about daddy. I ain't
(29:32):
coming back home ever again. I want to go. But
I did appreciate at being honest about him sitting there,
said like, look, I wanted to be a military dude.
I went to the academies. I'll tell you what. We talked.
Both of your sons gonna be making this decision at
the same time. Yeah, yeah, the same time. I want
(29:56):
to go here because it is she'd be like, nah, boy,
we ain't going here, and wow wow, I'll say this.
If me and Plex were rolling, Plex was a pretty boy.
I was a sucking bug, so we would have been
approached differently. My baby is just as pretty as plex's baby,
like prep pretty baby, but my baby is pretty too.
(30:17):
So now there's gonna be there's gonna be a meeting
of the minds. Even though he's a pretty boy that's
gonna be running routes and my baby is going to
be a thumper, they still nonetheless will be on the
same pretty range. Scalper and well, yeah, yeah, he's a thumper. Now,
yeah he ain't. He's a chip tooper tooth chipper. And
you know who else is a tooth chipper And let's
(30:40):
go to literally him chipper Urban diction, Urban dictionary, dictionary.
Yeah yeah, well all right, I've seen multiple definitions, so
we'll have to explore that and the previous segment a
(31:01):
lot more on the uncensored up on Game podcast, So
listen listen for that for more on what you just
heard during the previous segment. Number one number one trending
topic in sports right now, Urban Meyer because Tom Pellisero
of NFL Media reported today that Jacksonville Jaguars head coach
has had multiple run ins with his players and assistant
(31:23):
coaches over the last two weeks. Pellisero reported that receiver
Marvin Jones had a heated argument with Meyer over meers
criticism of him, and also reported that several Jaguars players
vented to Rams players after last week's game that Meyer
does not treat them like adults. In addition, Pellisera reported
that quote, during a staff meeting, Meyer delivered abiding message
(31:48):
that he's a winner and his assistant coaches are losers. Unquote.
In fact, let's see, is it. Do we have some
audio audio of that particular meeting. Let's see we can
play this. Listen you see this once? Yeah, that watched
Courts more than your car. That's who I'm closing, and
(32:10):
you're nothing. That's right, Always be always, always be closing.
More bad news for the jaguarsy and Rappaport reporting that
the Tennessee Titans planned to activate star receiver Julio Jones
off of injured reserve today and he will play tomorrow
against the Jaguars. The Chiefs announced quarterback Lagarius Need questionable
(32:31):
for tomorrow's game against the Raids because of personal reasons.
In the NBA, Wizards, guard Kyle Kuzma has entered health
and safety protocols and will not play tonight against the
Utah jazz. Finally, this one's for you, LaVar. Penn State
officially hiring former Miami head coach Manny Diaz as its
new lines of coordinator. Ye, back to you for some kids.
(32:54):
Are you up on game? And let's break this up.
Let's back it up. Come on, ryme what we got?
All right? Uh, well, let's take a quick look and
how things are going for you guys overall? Yes, what's
the record here? Tell them about the king? Come on,
in terms of picks, LaVar, you are leading their thirty
(33:15):
and twenty three on the season. Ye, t J seven
and twenty six, and I got a nice healthy lea
Plex nine. Let's look at Plex got how many a gain?
How many was that nine? It's because you tried to
say that real quick, like like we went going like
(33:36):
we go over top of that one. You said, you
said I had we got thirty three and twenty seven
to Plex's nineteen. That's what you said exactly. All right,
Let's take a look at this week, and we're gonna
pepper in a little bit of a different look this week.
But first off, let's take a look at the forty
(33:57):
Niners at the Bengals. The forty Niners our favorite minus
one and a half over under a forty eight and
a half in this one, LaVar, let's start with you, okay,
over under a forty eight and a half. I am
going to take the over on that game. But I
am taking the Bengals to win the game straight up. Wow.
(34:20):
So me and LaVar on the same page. Uh, he's
looking at my notes. So I'm taking the Bengals in
over Wow, stealing off. So I'm taking up. I'm taking
the over on on the foty eight and a half,
and I'm also going with since in that. There you go.
Now you're gonna get some wins. Just follow your follow
(34:42):
your boy. Let's go alright, Bills at Buccaneers Bucks favorite
minus three and a half in this one over under
a fifty four. T J will start with you. T
J will take the over, and t J is going
with the role team the Buffalo Bills. They need this win.
I'm taking I'm taking the under of the fifty four
(35:04):
and I'm going with Tampa Bay. Mm hmmm, I'm taking Uh.
I am certainly going to take the I'm gonna take
the over because I just think that the Bill's defense
has been letting me down. Lately. I just I don't.
They don't have the number one defense in NFL. Though
it's high, it's high, but I just I just know
(35:27):
they're up there. I know that in their offense is
up there too. And you know what, and they took
an owl against the Patriots, and I just don't. I
don't trust it right this moment. So I'm gonna take
I'm gonna take the over on it. But I do
not think that the Bills will go in and Tampa.
So I'm gonna take the Buccaneers on this one, all right.
And as I said, we're mixing up a little bit
with this segment today. Let's focus on this game here.
(35:48):
Let's let's throw a player prop. We got stefan prop.
That's right, Stefon Diggs over under eighty point five receiving
yards and Tampa Bay. Now Diggs is averaging seventy four
point eight yards per game, and the Tampa Bay Bucks
the twenty three best past defense in the league. So plaques,
I'll start with you over under eighty and a half
(36:08):
for Stefon Dick. I'm going over eight and a half
of Stefon Dudes. One of the premial wide receiver was
in all of football over, I'm gonna double that. I'm
gonna double down on that. I'm gonna I'm going over.
And the reason I'm going over is the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers play a lot of man to man coverage. When
you're good in the they really don't want to do
(36:30):
ws man to man. Let's get it in. Stefon Diggs
will win more often than not. I'm taking over on
that as well. Perfect perfect, Alright, Monday night here Rams
at Cardinals Cardinals favorite minus two and a half over
under a fifty one. LaVar is starting with you tell me,
I guess said again? Rams of Cardinals Cardinals minus two
and a half at home over under fifty one? Who
(36:56):
over under fifty one? I am going to take they scored.
I want to say they scored a lot the first
time around, didn't they? Yeah, I'm I'm going because I
took the under the first time they play. I'm gonna
stay with the under because I just think that the
defenses have to show up for these this this game,
especially for the Rams. I'm gonna take the under on
(37:17):
the points and not two and a half. And it
makes sense, it makes sense. I think the Rams are
gonna pull this one out though I really do so.
I'm gonna take the Rams and the straight up win.
And this is the one that sets me apart right here.
I'm gonna take the under and the Rams winning straight up.
I'm gonna go over, and conventional wisdom says the Rams
(37:39):
should lose. The Cardinals are good offensively, they're really good defensively.
This is a big game. It's the divisional game. The
Cardinals have already beaten them. I'm gonna take the Rams,
even though I don't know why. I'm gonna take the
Rams because everything everything, take the Cardinals. But I'm going
with the Rams. And over see, that's playing defense. And
now you can come back to say something, but I'm
(38:00):
taking the over. I'm taking the Over in the points
Kylin Murray and and they will be throwing the ball
all across the yard. Good receivers on the e side,
O B J. Cooper, Cup, the Hopkins over the points
of what was what was Itty two? Yeah, I'm taking
(38:22):
over on the points and I'm going with the Rams.
They definitely need to win this game and last one,
last one here to uh as we mentioned, let's throwing
one more player prop here Flax. You mentioned Cooper Cup
over under ninety three and a half receiving yards. For
Cooper Cup, he's averaging a hundred and thirteen receiving yards
in the game. But Cardinals have the fourth best past defense.
(38:44):
T J. Let's start with you on this one. I
must say under on that, just because the Rams want
to go to Cooper early and often. Vans Joseph is
going to try to take that away and for Stafford
to go somewhere else. I'm gonna take the under on that.
I'm taking under new yards. Also, Cooper Cup will will
(39:06):
draw more attention this week. He will not go over
ninety three yards. I'm taking it over and this is
where I win. They will find ways to scheme it
up to getting him the ball and look for most
of his yards to really be in that that those
windows of opportunity in the center of the defense, whereas
the no man's land of it is it is at
(39:27):
the safeties, is at the linebacker's ball, and look for
yards after the catch. I think he'll get enough yardage
after the catches where he breaks the century mark. Give
him the over on that nineties something nine plus and
that is up on game or down on game, Y'll
just make sure y'all see how much my uh my, my,
(39:47):
my lead increases after after this weekend. You know what,
Once you like there's no play props speaking offensively, that's
where you're gonna lose. Okay, Well, you know you're at
nineteen wins two days seven and I'm my thirty three?
So what was it? Ryan? What was Okay? So what thirties?
(40:14):
Still three more better than your twenty seven? And I'll
tell you whatever better them Ram trucks. You know what,
when we do our prop bet prop betting, I have
my RAM in mind. You know why, because I want
to I want to service my RAM. I want to
take my ram in and get it washed up and
cleaned up. Make sure my rims is clean, make sure
my interior is clean. Because when I roll up to
(40:36):
the game, everybody knows I've won the bets. I got
the wide screen TV, I got the coolers, the grills
and all of that in my Ram truck. As I
go to these games and win my bets, it's the
truck brand that's winning, just like I'm winning, and we're
both redefining what trucks and betting is. Right. Yeah, I
(40:57):
know that's funny, right. Ram leads the pack an interior design,
technology and overall quality. That's why it's the best. In fact,
JD Power just ranked the Ram as the number one
rated brand in new vehicle quality in the entire automotive industry,
first time a truck brand has ever scored that high.

(45:11):
what's going on? What? What do you guys coming up
on the show today? You've been killing it. Keep doing
what you're doing? What what you got going on? I
think I gotta talk a little bit about our our hometown. Yeah,
I love I would love to know what t J
thought about that um that Chase Claypool. I thought it
was just not aware. He's not aware of what's going on.
(45:37):
It should he have done it? No, but it's it's
not like they win that game or he doesn't. They
save six seconds, Joy, one play, They're still they're still
not going to the playoffs. I don't agree with it, now, don't.
I don't agree with it, and I'm not saying he's right,
but what I'm they're does the Steelers, they're just it
(46:00):
is not a good football team. So anything they can
grab onto. Oh, this is the reason why we lost.
Y'all lost because you're not good. Your offensive line isn't good,
your defense shows up sometimes and they want to blame Chase.
He has to be better. But it's not that big
a joy. T J has got a personal relationship with Chase.
Just so you're clear on Oh yeah, no, listen, I don't.
(46:21):
I don't dislike Chase personally. None of this is personal.
It wasn't a smart play, but it was beyond not
a smart play, Like you made that moment about you
and you didn't even do anything. It's not like you
won the game, like you got a first down and
then wasted five seconds which was essentially a play and
you lost the game. Is it Chase his fault and
lost the game? No, they were down twenty nine nothing
(46:43):
obviously wasn't Chase's fault. But it's more of a reflection
of how and where the organism. Isn't it always about you? Though?
Isn't it always about you? Like if if it's not
about me, how can I concern myself with others if
I don't put myself first and care about me? See,
that's that's that's a that's a that's a Seaver talking.
That's the truth. But I do think the most surprising
(47:04):
thing about the whole Claypool situation is that it's a
Mike Tomlin coach football team, where where they don't, you know,
make those mistakes in those situations. That's that's what's surprising
to me. So you got you got the Pittsburgh even
been in the game anyway, Alright, alright, so you got yeah, yeah,
you got the Pittsburgh Topics. Any guess what else you
(47:26):
got coming up? Yeah, we got Jason Terry, Jason Harry,
NBA Champ, Natalie eganof Kelsey, Nicole Nelson, and my prior
podcast partner Brandon Newman on the show today. That's awesome. Listen, y'all.
